Instead of viewing it like a jail cell where everyone is force, maybe if you consider it more like a sanctuary within your sanctuary for those not comfortable NIP? Then you don't HAVE to go and you can nurse P (and bebe#3) right where you sit. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/great-post-about-nip#post-964581 Thu, 25 Jul 2013 18:41:48 +0000 lomom 964581@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Love it!</p> <p>I haven't nursed during Mass and probably wouldn't. Not because I'm uncomfortable with it, but DH would be. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/great-post-about-nip#post-954640 Mon, 22 Jul 2013 21:51:20 +0000 runsyellowlites 954640@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>:heart:</p> <p>I'm not brave enough to nurse in service either... not because it's service though, rather they have a room designated for nursing moms so I feel like I was already "told" where it's acceptable for me to nurse. :/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/great-post-about-nip#post-954629 Mon, 22 Jul 2013 21:46:44 +0000 Boheme 954629@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Amen! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/great-post-about-nip#post-954603 Mon, 22 Jul 2013 21:39:08 +0000 birdofafeather 954603@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>that is great. i remember a couple years back when i heard that our church had asked a mom not to breastfeed there (not sure of the exact circumstances) but i thought it was so very weird of them. and i wasn't pregnant or really thinking about kids. i go to a home church now and i can go to a bedroom to feed (more because my kiddo is a squirmy worm) but we have lots of new moms there and i think whatever their comfort level would be fine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/great-post-about-nip#post-954173 Mon, 22 Jul 2013 19:50:06 +0000 dagret 954173@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Kemma: edited the post to reflect the paragraph is from the blog. I'm not brave enough to breastfeed in church (esp as the service is usually under an hour and we live .5 mile away!) but I don't have a problem with it at all! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/great-post-about-nip#post-954162 Mon, 22 Jul 2013 19:47:07 +0000 Kemma 954162@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Amen Sister! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/great-post-about-nip#post-954146 Mon, 22 Jul 2013 19:43:52 +0000 dagret 954146@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thought this was relevant to the hive since the last breastfeeding in public (in church) thread:</p> <p><a href="http://theleakyboob.com/2013/07/breastfeeding-and-following-jesus-uninviting-modesty-to-the-breastfeeding-discussion/" rel="nofollow">http://theleakyboob.com/2013/07/breastfeeding-and-following-jesus-uninviting-modesty-to-the-breastfeeding-discussion/</a></p> <p>From the post: "Every Sunday I sit in church and often my youngest needs to nurse. As part of my worship, I give her my breast exactly as I believe God created me to do, without leaving the worship space because I belong there and so does my daughter. Why should we be ostracized for feeding the most vulnerable and dependent in our community? There is nothing sexually provocative about feeding her, my daughter has a need and I meet it as I am able, as I am designed. I am confident God is pleased by it and I believe that with exposure my brothers and sisters in this family can handle it as well. Over time we can turn the tide that objectified women and instilled a fear that somehow breastfeeding would cause others to stumble and perpetuated the attitude of women as a lesser part of the community. In time perhaps we will stop seeing “modesty” as being a discussion aimed at women to hold them responsible for how their male peers think and treat them and instead work towards being modest in all areas." </p>
